The story of Pools winner Viv Nicholson told as a musical. She was still alive at the time - I wonder what she made of it? Anyone would be pleased having Barbara Dickson play them I think. This feels like the kind of thing that Jonathan Harvey (Beautiful Thing) would do really well, but I suppose now it's been done there'll be no need for another version.
